Efficient information presentation for augmented reality

An apparatus comprising:

• means for receiving data information to be displayed;
• means for clustering the data information into groups of similar elements;
• means for calculating a quality measure for each element in each group;
• means for generating a layout with a representative element from each group selected based on the quality measure;
• means for optimizing the layout by replacing the representative element from at least one group based on the quality measure to produce a final layout;
• and
• means for providing the final layout to be displayed.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including program code stored thereon, comprising:

• program code to cluster data information to be displayed into groups of similar elements;
• program code to calculate a quality measure for each element in each group;
• program code to generate a layout with a representative element from each group selected based on the quality measure;
• program code to optimize the layout by being configured to replace the representative element from at least one group based on the quality measure to produce a final layout;
• and
• program code to store the final layout to be displayed.

A method comprising:

• receiving a three-dimensional model of an object with different layouts based on viewing angle;
• capturing a first image of the object at a first viewing angle;
• determining the first viewing angle with respect to the object;
• selecting and displaying a first layout of the three-dimensional model based on the first viewing angle;
• capturing a second image of the object at a second viewing angle;
• determining the second viewing angle with respect to the object;
• selecting a second layout of the three-dimensional model based on the second viewing angle;
• and
• displaying a frame coherent transition from the first layout to the second layout.

A mobile platform comprising:

• a camera for imaging an object;
• memory for storing a three-dimensional model of the object with different layouts based on viewing angle;
• a display;
• a processor coupled to the camera, the memory, and the display, the processor configured to determine a first viewing angle with respect to the object from a first image of the object captured by the camera, select a first layout of the three-dimensional model based on the first viewing angle and causing the display to display the first layout, determine a second viewing angle with respect to the object from a second image of the object captured by the camera, select a second layout of the three-dimensional model based on the second viewing angle and causing the display to display a frame coherent transition from the first layout to the second layout.
